Amethyst proposes homes next to Tynemouth Station

The Consett-based housebuilder has submitted a detailed planning application to North Tyneside Council to develop 46 houses on disused land next to the Metro station.

There will be a mix of properties from one to four bedrooms. There be parking, cycle storage, and landscaping on land to the south of the station, and a new car park to the north.

Richard Bass, managing director of Amethyst Homes, said: “It has taken significant work from our team working closely with the North Tyneside Planners to get to this point. We’d like to thank those who commented during the public consultation. Every point raised was carefully considered, ensuring our final proposals to deliver new homes will respect the unique local heritage of the area and bring lasting value to Tynemouth and North Tyneside.

“Due to its unique location, the proposal offers a fully sustainable development close to all local amenities and facilities, all of which are within easy walking distance. As the development is directly adjacent to the Metro, this provides opportunities to connect to the wider locations of North Tyneside, Newcastle, and South Tyneside, which are all within easy reach.”

Subject to planning permission, construction will start in 2027
